Genesis 41:51-56
English Standard Version
Chapter 41
51Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh. "For," he said, "God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father 's house." 52The name of the second he called Ephraim, "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction."
53The seven years of plenty that occurred in the land of Egypt came to an end,
54and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
55When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, "Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do."
